How do you know that?
It assembled from earlier continental units approximately 300 million years ago, and it began to break apart about 175 million years ago
The earliest documented representative of the genus Homo is Homo habilis, which evolved around 2.8 million years ago

On this site I have been introduced to some new ideas such as planetary Inflation theory, I don't believe in planetary inflation theory but then even though I am a christian I also believe the human race is far, far older than either science or religion want to accept.
I actually suspect you could find evidence of humans hundred's of million's of years in the past, I am sceptical of the standard evolutionary model as well, indeed most creationist sites use some relics that do not fit that model and suggest human existance far into the past as evidence for wrong science, I actually think the science is sound but has a broken picture and that some science is biased to the extreme and that some scientific heirarchys are acting more like there own version of the spanish inquisition with any scientists producing such a theory about more ancient modern humans likely to be run out of town.

There will always be proponent's and oponents of any such claim's especially when it threatens one groups BELIEF's or Reinforces another groups BELIEF's.
Personally I think humanity may even be older than the earth itself or rather that there may be other races of man even unrelated to us whom we would recognise as broadly human if we lived on the same body that is.
Religious, the angels are Human or very similar but seem to have made a leap that evolution can not explain, certainly many religions around the world have being whom are not human having sex with and creating children from women, many of these children are monstrous, the titans and the greek god's, the Nephilim etc.
My religion is that a being even higher than them became flesh in HUMAN form and of course he is older than the Universe.

Now hold on a moment you have just declaired a belief, "We can find fossil's", yes we are all aware of fossil evidence and how it can be skewed by either side.
Take the human footprint controversy at paloxy and how someone took an iron bar to them to smash them.
Take the rumours of the smithsonian having disposed of massive amount's of archeaological evidence much of it uncatalogued.
Take the constant plethora of actually accepted and later discredited anthropological find's and compare to the denial and refusal to accept potential evidence of earlier human find's.
As a general rule of thumb the further back you go the less fossil evidence you will find, the fossil's of micro organisms are included in this but there sheer numbers mean that if you look for fossil evidence of micro organism's today you will find them, look for them in older strata you will find them and go back before the earliest known multi cellular organism and you will find them.
[snip for space]
Of course I am getting into the GREY area but what makes you think human's are really only just a recent development, were did they get there fear and awe at the sky, why do so many believe in other races or super being's that can and have mated with woman sometime's leaving there progeny on the earth.
Face it modern scientific theorem's about the past such as Anthropology and Archeaology have a lot of baggage from there period of being at odd's with the church, even after the church ceased to look for a fight with them they have enshrined the I AM RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG notion into there followers head's at a religious level of dogmatic adherance to accepted model's and even in some cases apparently destroyed evidence that there model is wrong.
So creationist's may have some of there time line facts skewed but so too did many whose idea's have become standard model in these sciences even though these founding father's of anthropology and archeaology were not always the most scientific people and often had an axe to grind with the church.
And as for NO scientific proof I must point out that the storys about modern human skull's in the wrong strata and the wrong place are too many to be hoax, also there are artifact's which can not be simply explained away.
Remember also the Russians hold to a slightly different doctrine to the west when it comes to ancient artifacts, go to india and there religion holds to human civilizations hundred of thosuands of years ago.
But we base our world view on a legacy 18th century view in which western europeans were believed to be the most highly evolved life form on the planet.
The chinese though put it like this, the most cunning creature is the one no man has yet seen.

In the west they are constantly pushing civilization further and further back, Gobekli Tepi is the current golden child but this same fraternity whom control by the way the majority of the worlds investment into this research have ignored the two massive sunken stone city's in the gulf of Khumbaht off of southern india which may be just as ancient and far more impressive.

Then there is the ruins of north west cuba, no they are not natural formations and I am actually angry that they scare some so much they feel the need to attack that find cosntantly, a city that may be as much as 50.000 years old but is probably far younger as that rate of submergance ingores the impact of ice on the crust and sub crustal magma displacement during the last ice age which may have accounted for that region being far higher in altitude far more recently than that theory.

Even in Egypt there may be evidence of an earlier pharonic or otherwise age of civilization complete with pyramids larger even than those at Giza, but in a far worse condition.

Back when I studied we were told that a theory can never be proven only proven wrong, a theory can only be supported.

you forget, though you probably don't believe it, but after the Flood there were only four couples and only three of those couples could reproduce. In those three couples were all the mix Genetic code for all races and it is from them that all the nations/races come.

I believe that there were. I know environmental conditions can probably change the skin conditions somewhat, but I'm quite sure that man and womenkind were not just 2 people of only one continent.
How about an ancient body in a decayed space suit on the moon,
